Updating Firmware
The MD-xxHD meter firmware is updated approximately twice a year in response to minor bug correction
or customer requested features. Documentation is expected to be downloaded and used together within a
“Media Release” which includes firmware, ViewPoint HD Updates, register list updates, and manual
updates. Mix and match operation of components between separate Media Releases is not
recommended. The basic updating procedure is as follows:
1. Download the Latest Media Distribution (from the DENT website) and review the change log.
2. Un-install and Re-install ViewPoint HD software (ViewPoint HD uninstallation directions can be
found in the Meter Configuration section of this guide.)
3. Locate the appropriate binary file within the Firmware folder of the Media Release (example
below):
4. Connect to the meter using ViewPointHD and locating the Firmware Upgrade utility window on
the Advanced tab.
5. Press the File Finder and locate the model appropriate binary file (HD03,HD12 …)
6. Press the Upgrade button and Acknowledge the warning by clicking OK.
7. Observe the Progress of the File Transfer into Flash memory.
